Hi all.  I hope you have been enjoying your week.

I decided to bring out my watercolours again.  I have a little tippy-tip for new watercolour peeps out there: use a heavy cold press paper.  Last time I used a 90 lb paper and I found it buckled with the water A LOT (and I tried all the tricks out there to flatten it afterwards) this time I used 140 lb paper and it curved a smidge, but nothing anyone would notice.  HUGE difference  =)

 I painted, splashed and splooshed. Stamped, tied, and fussy-cutted.

And came up with this shaker card  =)

Card Ingredients:
Stamps:  Rubber Stampede Contemporary Anniversary sentiment, Wplus9 Love Birds

Enjoy the rest of your week and have a super great weekend!  Cheers!!
